Specialist Live In Care Training

Our in-depth induction programme will empower you with the right tools, skills and mindset to deliver the best care possible. After all, we are only ever as good as our people.

Our 5 day induction training supports carers to refresh and develop their knowledge but also to further assess behaviours and values which are critical to our organisation. We cover a wide range of subject matter which includes:

How our values underpin our culture

Communication skills

The journey of both client and carer at the Good Care group

The practical elements of working for us i.e. expenses, pay and holidays

We use lots of different training techniques including hands-on applied learning, e-learning, reflective practice, workshops, practical learning and assessment to ensure training is interesting and interactive.

Your induction training will take place in London.

Specialist training for specific medical conditions.

Professional and personal care for particular needs.

The people we care for are all very different, so the care we provide must be as individual as they are. You’ll need specialist training to fully understand the challenges your client is living with and to deliver truly personal care tailored to them.

Our fantastic relationships with leading charities have helped us to develop quality training programmes to do just that.These charities include:

Contented Dementia Trust

Dementia UK

Parkinson’s UK

The Stroke Association

Young Dementia UK

If you care for someone with dementia for example, you will understand how to treat the whole person, mind and body, not just the symptoms of the disease. And you won’t be alone. Our Consultant Admiral Nurse will be available to offer help and advice when you need it most.

Ongoing, extensive training.

Completely qualified, fully equipped.

After your induction training you will begin a 16-week probationary period. During this time you will be working towards your Care Certificate using our online course. You will have support as you need it from our Learning and Development team, as well as your dedicated Care Manager. The course will give you a valuable knowledge and skill base, which you can put into practice in your day-to-day care.

Shadow programme for new carers.

Learn from the best to be the best.

The shadow programme is especially designed for exceptional individuals who have a passion to become a carer but do not have previous experience of caring, either professionally or personally.

Before attending the induction the carer will be asked to complete a significant level of the Care Certificate knowledge.

Once the care Certificate is complete the new recruit will work in a double up placement with the extra supervision of a more experienced carer and also under the careful supervision of the Care Manager.
